2. Kerry's ahead? Bush*'s approval is at all time lows? |
|

Could be, and should be better, but I like the look of things. Kerry is pretty consistently ahead in all polls released over the last few weeks.

4. I think the link was to refer to a new Zogby poll finding |
|
Kerry 47% Bush 44% or 45% tied with Vader in the mix. < http://www.pollingreport.com/wh04gen.htm>

3. The Zogby poll looks great |
|
Kerry 47% vs. 44% for *. It has not changed much since the last poll which is a disappointment.
Were you referring to a different poll?

6. Did you look at *'s approval rating? |
|
Plus, I think it IS good that Kerry is staying ahead! With all the negativity bush*co is directing at him, Kerry's holding up great!

Zogby International Poll. April 15-17, 2004. N=1,049 likely voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.1.
"Please tell me if your overall opinion of George W. Bush is very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, very unfavorable, or you are not familiar enough to form an opinion."
Favorable : 53% Unfavorable : 45% Not Familiar/Not Sure : 2%
This is fairly static at a time when his favorability ratings should be plummeting. Comparative to this same poll previously, the rating for Bush is down, but remember that some polls recently have had that rating below 50%.
As for Kerry staying ahead, the Zogby poll results are within the margin of error, so it's still effectively tied for the overall national picture. Again, with all the scandal and bad news coming out of Iraq, Kerry's numbers should be much higher, and the negatives against Bush should be much stronger. There's something *not right* here.
Sorry to sound like a wet blanket, and I'd really like to be uplifted, but this worries me. BushCo's big guns have not been released yet, and Rove is cagey enough and has enough financial resources that he definitely has serious plans for closer to the election. If Kerry can't build a lead by then, I fear he won't be able to maintain such a thin one through that onslaught.

11. I meant job ratings. This, imo, is more indicative of voter preference: |

24. The Zogby poll looks great if you don't count Nader. If you do, |
|
then it is a tie, 45%-45% rather than a 47%-44% Kerry lead. As usual, Nader takes from the democrats.

Kerry is ahead of Bush 47-44 Head-to-Head
But if you add Nader it becomes 45-45? (Nader w/3%)
How can Bush's % go up when Nader is added?

as usual when Nader was added to the mix.

51% think it's time for "someone new" instead of reelecting Bush.

15. Women vs. men undecided % is good |
|
It could well be that the poll is off, but if the numbers are accurate, this is a very good thing.
W/O Nader
6% of men undecided 11% of women undecided
W/ Nader
3% of men undecided 10% of women undecided
Women tend to break Democratic, and Kerry has a lead even with ~ double as many female undecideds as male undecideds. I think that bodes well. :)

Did Bush commission this poll? I think it doesn't bode well for Kerry!
